San Nicolás, Postdam, Brandenburg, Deutschland.
La iglesia San Nicolás de Potsdam (en alemán, St. Nikolaikirche) es una iglesia luterana erigida en la plaza del Mercado Viejo (Alter Markt) en Potsdam. El edificio de planta central en estilo clasicista y dedicado a san Nicolás fue construido según los planos de Karl Friedrich Schinkel en los años 1830 a 1837. El tambor de la iglesia de 77 metros de altura que domina los tejados de la ciudad fue construido más tarde, desde 1843 hasta 1850. Su construcción fue asumida por Ludwig Persius y, desde 1845, por Friedrich August Stüler. Es una de las pocas obras que subsisten de Schinkel.
Hacia el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la iglesia fue atacada durante el ataque aéreo en Potsdam y posteriormente fue gravemente dañada por el fuego de artillería soviético. Después de muchos años de reconstrucción, la iglesia fue reconsagrada en 1981 por la Parroquia Evangélica de San Nicolás, Potsdam, y, hoy en día, está abierta a los visitantes. Además de los servicios normales de la iglesia, los eventos de conciertos también se llevan a cabo en la iglesia.
St. Nicholas of Potsdam Church (German for St. Nikolaikirche) is a Lutheran church erected on the Old Market Square (Alter Markt) in Potsdam. The central floor building in the classicist style dedicated to Saint Nicholas was built according to the plans of Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the years 1830 to 1837. The 77 meter high church drum that dominates the roofs of the city was built later , from 1843 to 1850. Its construction was taken over by Ludwig Persius and, from 1845, by Friedrich August Stüler. It is one of the few remaining works of Schinkel.
Towards the end of World War II, the church was attacked during the airstrike in Potsdam and was subsequently severely damaged by Soviet artillery fire. After many years of reconstruction, the church was re-consecrated in 1981 by St. Nicholas Evangelical Parish, Potsdam, and today it is open to visitors. In addition to the normal church services, concert events also take place in the church.
Contronym theme again. Today - Fire. To start or launch something as "fire the starting pistol" also can mean to finish something as in "You're Fired!"
Not as impressive as Martin's shot which was my inspiration - www.flickr.com/photos/martinp2009/8448097945/ but it fits the theme and I will return to this idea another time.
The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
Title: Playing with fire

" Round and round, the sweet melody of danger twirling around in a beautiful and deadly dance. One false step could result in disaster, so why do we take the risk?
I think, it's to feel alive. "

Shot with the crazy ninja-designer-makeup artist - fire dancing - kia screaming Romy Noel in an abandonned building.
All in all, the shoot went well. Those who follow me on facebook already know now that all didn't go according to plan when Romy started spitting out fireballs.... which resulted in an entire squad of firemen and three seperate patrols of police officer (including one very cute blond I must mention) that arrested us for... well, breaking and entering as well as spitting little balls of happiness into the air.
That being said, our awesome charm and fantastic good looks got us through without so much as a ticket.
Shot with the indispensable help of Julius Adarna (who even stands by me as we get arrested),
Lighting wise, there was a 3 light setup in place to freeze the shot in place. The camera was placed on a tripod and panned during the shot to enlarge the effect of the fire while Romy was dancing.

Just want to make it clear the original images in my "borrowed faces" series have been shot on my computer screen with iPhone and then edited on my iPhone. The original image is not mine. So thanks to those photogs and videographers whose work I've been "borrowing" and reworking.
